hope for a tree when it is cut down

For there is hope for a tree,
When it is cut down, that it will sprout again,
And its shoots will not fail.

“Though its roots grow old in the ground
And its stump dies in the dry soil,
At the scent of water it will flourish
And put forth sprigs like a plant.
“But man dies and lies prostrate.
Man expires, and where is he?
(Job 14: 7-10)
